Young People and Children First supports young people age 16 - 25 from foster care, or homeless, and making the transition into independent living in West Berkshire.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
